I recently completed this commission for my client in Dubai. She had fallen in love with an extant corset in a private collection and requested that I try to reproduce it as closely as possible. The completed corset is made of black silk satin, silk embroidery, hand applied lace, and a historic reproduction busk closure that is engraved with gilded laurel wreaths. The authentic period pattern is comprised of 24 pattern pieces and so recreating this was a true challenge and labor of love which I really enjoyed. I’m already dreaming of different color combinations in this same pattern….
